Marriott Approves Broadband, iTV Supplier for European Brands

Marriott International, Inc. has named Acentic, a provider of broadband systems and digital interactive TV (iTV) for the hotel industry, as an approved supplier of hotel in-room technology for its brands across Europe.

 

With its flexible Panorama platform for delivering in-room digital broadcast, on-demand and Hotel TV services, Acentic brings a bespoke solution to the Marriott brands in the upscale market, as well as the mid scale market. Acentic already provides services to 16,000 Marriott rooms across Europe. This agreement reinforces the partnership and enables Acentic to build upon its position within one of the fastest growing hotel brands.
 

Acentic provides Marriott with access to technology for the current need for high definition (HD), as well as a platform that is easily upgradeable for the future. Whether over legacy networks or IP, Marriott can offer a consistent guest experience across Europe with a high level of service. Furthermore, through the use of Acentic's upgradable platform, Marriott properties will benefit from the latest applications throughout the contract's duration.

 

Acentic was the first technology provider to install guest connectivity panels for Marriott, and now offers a HD experience with a range of services which recognize the importance of the Marriott guest. The two companies will continue joint work on developing the future in-room experience, bringing guest satisfaction and return on investment to Marriott and building owners.
